WELL over 1,000 people flooded into Alice Street's Central Hall for the first ever Keighley Brick Show.

Last Saturday's (Oct 25) charity event was organised by the group Bricks 4 Kidz and featured huge quantities of Lego for children to get to grips with.

Many imaginative Lego models were on display and plenty of Lego bricks were on sale for families wanting to take the hobby back home with them.

The day involved Keighley’s Bricks 4 Kids franchise holder Keith Moran, from Silsden, and former Cross Roads man Mark Pullen and his partner Debbie Adamthwaite, who hold the franchise for Calderdale.

The occasion raised money for the charity Fairy Bricks, which supports sick children, and for Oakworth Scout Hannah Wedge, who is going to the World Scout Jamboree in Japan next year.

There was also a model making competition on the theme of ‘exploring’, with three separate classes for children aged up to 14. The youngsters were invited to build a model at home and bring it along to the show for judging.
